Banteay Sreyloosely
translates to ‘citadel of the women,’ but this is a modern appellation
that probably refers to the delicate beauty of the carvings. Built at a
time when the Khmer Empire was gaining significant power and territory,
the temple was constructed by a Brahmin counselor under a powerful king,
Rajendravarman and later under Jayavarman V. Banteay Srey displays some
of the finest examples of classical Khmer art. The walls are densely
covered with some of the most beautiful, deep and intricate carvings of
any Angkorian temple. The temple's relatively small size, pink sandstone
construction and ornate design give it a fairyland ambiance

Beng
Mealea is located 63km east of town and is a real jungle temple,
about one square kilometer. Trees
growing firm the broken towers and galleries offer some of the best tree
in temple shots aside from Ta Prom. There are some lintel and doorway
carvings, there are no bas-reliefs and the carvings are comparatively
sparse. When the temple was active, the walls may have been covered,
painted or and frescos.

BAKONG
represents a prototype of Khmer temple mountains, the first to be built
in sandstone. It is also larger and set the style for later ones to
come. It was believed to have started by Jayavarman III, doing it in
literati. Indravarman I completed the job in sandstone as last big
project.
Bakong comprises a massive five-tier pyramid surrounded by chambers,
chapels andprasats(towers).
Fromthe
eastside by a
causeway, which leads tothe
pyramid, the symbolize Mount Meru. The founding of Bakong was
documented on a stone tablet, orstalae,
which describes the consecration of its linga, called Sri Indresrava, in
881 AD.

KABAL
SPEAN
is known as the "River of a Thousand Linga"
(a linga is a phallic symbol representing the Hindu god Shiva) Dating
from the early 11th century, the relief carvings that line the stream
beds are said to purify the water before it fills the reservoirs (calledbarays)
of Angkor. It's the journey here that's really interesting, through
rural villages north of Banteay Srei
and there's a fun forest hike (about 30 min. to the first waterfall).
And it's a good spot to swim or follow the path that trips along at
brook side; from there, you can view the many carvings in relief on the
banks and creek bed.
